Migrant worker shot in Central Florida
This is a very ugly trend that is affecting Orlando recently. Many, if not most of these crimes/robberies against migrant workers go unreported because the victims risk deportation if they report the crimes. And undocumented immigrant common practice of carrying cash rather than banking their earnings makes them attractive targets to criminals.

Another migrant worker shot in Orange County

Armed robbers shot another migrant worker overnight in Orange County.

Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies said armed robbers attacked a group of migrant workers in Apopka, sending one of the victims to the hospital with injuries.

Four Mexican immigrants have been killed in less than a year in the Orange Blossom Trail and Oak Ridge Road area of Orange County.

1. What else do we expect?
They are attempting to indoctrinate us to hate Messicans--legal or illegal.
This is what happens when ethnic groups are targeted for hate.

2. Perhaps the poor robbers feared for their lives?
If so, they are protected by Florida's appalling new gun law, are they not?
